Summary

You wouldn’t eat a bag of dried pellets made of meat by-products. So why would you feed it to your pet? Just like humans, animals need proper nutrition to thrive and live happy, healthy lives. Most store-bought pet foods consist of low-quality meats, fillers and preservatives.

Pet food manufacturers are constantly trying to make the food-making process cheaper. So that means cheap ingredients and cheap packaging. All of that results in poor nutritional health for your furry friends.

This one isn’t tough, guys. We need to make sure our pets are eating whole, nutritional foods. I choose a plant-based diet for myself, but I know a vegan diet isn’t best for my German Shepherd, Chaga. So I give him a fresh, mostly raw diet consisting of 75% meat and 25% veggies and ancient grains.

In this episode, I’ll give you some tips on how to use fresh food for your dog and some fresh pet food companies that I love. I discuss the gross history of pet food companies, signs that your pet has a poor diet, why raw food is best for pets, studies that reveal the horrifying ingredients in dry pet food, if grain-free is better for your dog, what foods are best for cats and dogs, and great fresh pet food companies.

What I discuss:

(0:02:02) - The history of pet food, its impact on pet health, and the need to treat our pets as family members

(0:09:12) - The dangers of processed pet food, the lack of regulations, the questionable ingredients permitted in pet food, and the potential toxins in pet food

(0:23:04) - The importance of conscious decision-making when it comes to the products we give our pets

0:00.0	Hey everybody welcome to the show another installment of fatal conveniences I'm
0:05.2	Darren Olean this is the Darren Olean show thanks for tuning in this is a great one
0:10.1	because hopefully we'll liberate you with more awareness about your pet.
0:15.0	This fatal convenience is pet food.
0:17.0	It's so convenient to go out and buy just big bulk bags of dried food and all of that stuff and those nasty can foods with
0:27.8	DPA all exposed in there too that I didn't even get into on this because there's so many different
0:34.1	parts to this. The manufacturing process is nasty the allowance of certain
0:38.6	ingredients. This one's very personal obviously my free friend my amazing companion chaga
0:45.6	four-year-old German Shepherd my point of view just straight off is he is a member of the
0:51.8	family he's essentially my child and the better I take care of them the better health he'll have the more happy he'll be the more energetic he'll be that's in alignment with my morals my ethics my standard of care for myself
1:06.2	so that's how I treat my dog that's how I treat my family member he gets the best water.
1:13.3	It's filtered, it's vortated, it's mineralized, the food,
1:18.8	you know, obviously I'm a vegan, I choose that for myself,
1:21.3	but dogs and cats are not vegan so 75% of chaga's calories comes from raw meat I get it fresh delivered frozen but it also has 25% sweet potatoes and other vegetables as well and that's what I choose. Cats are a
1:36.3	completely different thing. They're a hundred percent carnivore. They can't eat the
1:40.1	same things that dogs can in terms of that. Dogs can get exposed to
1:44.2	carbohydrates and produce actually enzymes that can help it break it down so they have a
1:48.2	wider variety of choice in the wild. So listen I would just encourage you to up level and update and upgrade
1:56.3	yourself as it relates to the care of your animals. Their love for you, their
2:00.9	connection to you, and you are the
2:03.3	are the steward for them so your choices are affecting their life and
2:08.0	therefore our choices are creating more and more cancers degeneration in our pets.
